My tax professional is stating that I would need an appraisal to show the lot/structure are valued at $400k if I try to claim $200k as a donation.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Quote from @Polat Caglayan: What do professional investors think about Detroit's course and future? 

Now, the house that is about to refinance, I am thinking of turning into a MTR for traveling nurses, or other professionals as such.

Currently scheduled to close on my first triplex next month and excited to connect with other RE professionals in the area to help me along.

If you know of any exceptional professionals in the Cleveland area with a strong track record or if you believe you are one yourself please reach out to me and I will get back to you.

I personally think it is best to work with local professionals with a good track record.
